I just have to post this one, it's a cracking little jig plumbed from the depths of an ancient manuscript and destined to take the session scene by storm once a few players pick it up. Remember where you saw it first!

Rather early for the weekend but it's Wednesday evening after all so we're more than halfway through the week. Courtesy of Jon from the UK Folk Music Forum here's a grand hornpipe that I've not seen before. It will be a favourite of mine for some time to come!

.....uhmmm, I cannot get to "tune-a-tron" to translate this last one. Did you stump the poor thing? It still comes up as ABCs in the dots translation--I've never seen that before?? ....tune-a-tron, ABCs or is it me doing something wrong again??

I am loving the last two posts : the Tailor's Twist more so, but the Cocquetdale Hornpipe is fun once you get the rhythm. Thanks again for expanding horizons! Michelle

Worked fine for me - do make sure that you're copying the entire tune including all the headers (e.g. from the starting 'X:19' to the final 'C2 z|]' ). Most successful attempts to bork the tune-a-tron are achieved through missing some of the headers out, as the underlying code relies on the X: field to detect the start of the tune.

If you have done all that, however, please ignore the previous paragraph ...

I've also dropped the tune (nice tune BTW!) into EasyABC, my current abc parsing software of choice, and it displays fine in that too.

O.K. I've just put this file through O'Regan's and it won't convert. Works with the Tune-O-Tron for dots but the midi doesn't play back the same as it does on my software. I can't add a midi file here so I'm on a mission to make it into an mp3!

You're welcome I'm sure but I have to admit to being a bit flummoxed by the questions thrown up by this latest tune. If this won't play back accurately how many other tunes that I've posted here sound very differently to the people reading this thread compared to what I hear?
